With experience

Not as great as I expected

Acceptable

Getting patients the right tools for recovery

The residents.

always short staffed. Unsafe ratios leading to unsafe environment. Management, Directors, administrators do not care. They lie. High burn out and turn over. Stay away !

Nothing.

None, there’s nothing good about working for this company in any setting . Everything they say or present to you is false, lies !

No cons, upper management receives all the cons. There’s poor to little communication and there’s cliques of people plotting together to find anyway to get you fired.

I was forced out of job before I could enjoy any benefits or perks

There is no leadership, none.

There’s no way to improve the culture because no acceptance for people from different backgrounds and cultures

Just come as your are. There’s no high expectations of your dress code even when your hired on.

The compensation is fair but you’ll have to do more then you’re paid to do.

There’s absolutely no joy in the work environment. There’s a lot dark clouds and unhappy people barely caring for the individuals they are supposed to take care of.

There’s none.

The pay was fair

No one really cared about the residents and those of us that do were chased off

None

I know nothing of the CEO and I'm sure if he knew how his company was being ran he wouldn't be happy either.

I would hire people with integrity.

I was just myself

Enriching the lives of the residents.

It's not good.

No idea I really don't know nor have I put any thought towards that. I just think something needs to be done about the way the residents are being treated.

Management does not care nor support staff and residents. We were constantly short staffed, with no supplies. So many nights a nurse would have to wash chucks so we would have some and it was ridiculous how often we ran out of wipes and had to use wet paper towels. Management never came in when short staffed. We never had a problem hiring new people, but the good employees were always gone within a month or two due to a hostile work environment. I felt so bad for the residents. So many suffered because of poor staffing and lack of continuity in their care. I saw nurses berate residents on the regular. And no matter how often residents complained about the food and being left in wet briefs for hours due to short staffing issues, Management did nothing. This corporation should be embarrassed to be proud of their billions they are making off of treating employees and especially the residents the way they do. Do better Ensign Group. They promise great benefits and a great work environment but you quickly find they dont follow through with those promises. Corporate needs to really go in and ask residents and lower employees what they could do better at.

The residents

THEY DO NOT EVENLY DISTRIBUTE THE NUMBER OF RESIDENTS. If you work the morning shift and you are placed in the center section of the facility, expect 10-12 residents while everyone else has 9 residents assuming that we are not short-staffed. During the Pm shift, if you work in the East section of the facility, expect 15 residents while everyone else has 12 residents, as that's how it is currently. NOC shift is always short-staffed as staff members call in habitually, so expect 20-24 residents every so often. I've worked AM shift fulltime at a point, and twice a week, I would have three showers to do on my own in one day; other days, I would have none as they do not distribute the showers in accordance with the number of residents in the section. They might tell you that they have a shower a person (a mystical CNA that does all the showers) This has not been the case for a while now with all the call-ins this facility has the shower person ends up having to take a section so we have to do our own showers. During PM, shift there is never a shower person, and I always had to do 2-3 showers a shift. THEY DO NOT PAY STAFF FAIRLY. They strung me along and kept telling me they would give me a raise. When minimum wage went up, I had to ask for a raise; otherwise, I would not have got the raise. After being with the company for over a year, I was getting paid $14 an hour that is less than a new graduate they hired, making $15 an hour. When I brought this up to administration, he was in his ego and did not want to pay me the same amount of $15 even though my review was perfect, and I continuously picked up shifts. I was told that I was one of the best CNA's yet they couldn't pay me the same amount as someone who is habitually late and has less than 6 months of experience as a CNA. He said that the new graduate was making more due to a night differential and asked me if I wanted to work NOC shift. Not taking into account I pick up for NOC shift as they habitually have call-ins and that I've worked NOC shift for 3-4 months fulltime during the holidays. But thanks to them for showing me who they are as I got offered $17 elsewhere. Don't settle. Two CNA's who have worked here for over three years were getting paid less than new graduates and had to ask for a raise and got strung along before management approved to give them $15 the same amount as new hires it's not right. If I work in an environment that promotes the message: "Customer Second: When we take care of our

The residents.

The autonomy and creativity provided in the role. The culture was supportive of positive professional relationships, accountability and innovation.

The allegedly 'flat organizational structure' is more covertly hierarchical than any other explicitly hierarchical traditional company I've encountered. This created extremely confusing mixed messages across the org. Also, poor communication from strategy to execution - people were 'empowered' but left to figure everything out in an isolated setting.

Very generous benefits with tech, expense card, access to whatever materials I needed to provide great services to my colleagues, nationally.
